Homeless Memorial Day and Requiemis supported by the many faith communities and service agencies that provide meals, housing, employment, and invaluable support to our neighbors who are living without housing. Partners are Cascade United Methodist Church, the Cathedral of St. Philip, Zion Hill Baptist Church, and The Community at Peachtree-Pine. You are invited to be a part. The event opensNational Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Month.

You are also invited to join the community at Peachtree-Pine to make a banner for your organization or to have them make a banner for you. Please let them know you will join in this most important day, celebrating the lives and mourning the deaths of the countless homeless men, women and children whose lives are shortened and lost because of their homelessness. This year Homelessness Awareness month is dedicated to the desperate need for shelter and housing for homeless women and children. An average of 90 – 100 homeless women and children are sleeping on mats on the floor of the Task Force because there is NO SHELTER AVAILABLE for them elsewhere.
